Witnesses sanitary and coni' "and Stute of l To all 203mm 'it may cono Be it known that l' *o i* Lrrrs it. is I a. citizen oi the iinited tfrtesa residing :it Coffey/Ville, in the county o t t'lontgemery font-iis, invented nonv and useful Gerhugc und Trash ineinerot r,

of which the following ie n spec' r on.

The present invent-ion :i cre-mirtory or incinerotor ior burning garbage and trash, ,pri'rved and niins to provide :i nor'ei :ind appliance of that clmroctein It is the object oil the invention tf provide en incineretor of unione eonstri 7 into which the garbagezind t :i my lo nipoti or deposited, whereby the seine will 1oe dried and then burnt, so that the i. i affords cnt menne et l of the garbage and tragt.

The structure is pi v' it compartment 'for receiving z ont trash whereby the peper and fthe bustilole metter Wiii loe burnt, sind so t iat the metallic and other ne iconiinistible p; ,may be readily discharged. ".iiic Structure also includes e compartment for receiving the proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and iii-rangement of ports ond in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed con he mede within the scope ot' what is claimed without de porting from the spirit of the invention.

The invention is illustrated in the ticconr panying drawing, w i:-

'seid compartment, and tic ririozil torni., and having between its upper and lower ends7 e, hopper providing the inei erating chamber therealiOVe. A ii, Supported immediately below the central openin, of the hopper 25 und a burner is disposed Within the lower" portion ol the casing l loeow the grate 3. The burner t may he supplied with gas, gosolene, oil., or other .Suitable tuch and :is iilustrated ie connected by ineens of a. pipe 5 having a controlling vulve G, to e. liquid fuel tank 7.

The front Well ot' tne easing l is provided with n lower ash opening 8E adjacent the raised bottom 9 of the casing,` and the opening; 8a is no1-molly closed by a door S hinged to the easing. The raised bottom 9 provides on cir space therebelow, which is desirable. When the door 8 is opened, the dehesa Wi hin the ash pit below the grote 3 muy loe removed through the opening 8a, and may be used for tertilizing or other purposes.

The top or upper end oi"- the casing is pro vided with u central opening 1G normally portion attached to the lower end of the grating i4, end na-ving its lower portion attached to the respective side woll of the easing l. The respectiie side mail of the ces'ng is provided with an opening i6 leeding the upper portion of the compartment i3, and seid opening lo is normally closed by :L door 17 hinged to the easing.

Said Wall of the casing 'is provided with n second opening 18 communicating `with the lower portion of the Compartment i3 immediately there the bottoni grate l5 oit opening i8 is e door i@ hinged to the norinziliy cios-ed by nroridsd therein at its 20, provided by an upright cylindrical shell 2l secured to the respective Sideiwall of the casino.' An hnperforate trap door is pvoted or trunnioned within the shell 2l between the upper and lower ends thereo't', and is provided with an outstanding crank 22 projecting exteriorly ot' the casing 1, where by the door 22 may be swung open and closed. the door is normally disposed horizontally iu closed posit-ion, and when swung' vertically opens the passage through the coimiartment it from the upper portion to the lower portion thereo'l. An annular trough Surrounds the door 2Q, and an upstanding annular screen 23 is secured to the inner liange of the trough. perforated trap door or grate ill is; pivoted or trunnioned within the lower end oli the Shell 31, and is provided with an outstanding crank 25 projecting exteriorly ol the casing 1, whereby the door or grate 2l. may be manipulated the sameas the. door 22. lhe lower end of the shell 'r2.1 terminatee` above or is spaced from the hopper 2l.

The respective side wall el" the easing provided with an inlet chute 26 for the com partment 2() or shell 21 which is normally closed by a` door 2i', and said side wall o'l' the casing is further provided with an opening 28 vleading to the compartment Z0 immediately above the trap door 22. This opening 28 is normally closed by a door .29 hinged to the casing.

A drain pipe 130 is disposed upon the eX- terior of the casing 1 and has its upper end engaged through .the casing and communicating with the trough 2?. The drain pipe BO extends downwardlyY and may be led to the desired point of discharge.

lrm'ided within the upper portion of the casing at the opposite. sides thereof, are two combining chambers 3l for flics and other insects. and said chambers are provided with inlet leaders lli. preferably constructed ol wire mesh, to allow the insects to readily enter the chambers 3l, but to prevent the retreat or escape ot' the inserts after once they enter the chambers.

in using the inciuerator` paper, wood and similairefuse may be deposited in the incinerating chamber when the lid 11 is opened. the refuse being dropped down thrmigh the opening 1U so as to 'tall onto the grate 3. .l`in cans and other trash are deposilied in the trash c mipartment 13 by way of the opening 16 when the door 17 is opened. while garbage or slope are dumped through the chute il() into the compartment 20. The garbage or slops will he supported by the trap door 22. within the screen 231, and the water. and other liquids will pass through the screen 23 to flow into the trough 23 and thence down the pipe 250. After the garbage is drained, the trap door 22 is tilted to allow the garbage to drop into the lower chamber of the compartment 20, onto the trap door or grate 24. W hen the burner l is lighted, the llames will pass upwardly through the grate 3 to burn or consume the trash thereon, and the llames will also burn the paper and other combustible matter within the compartment. 1.25, itV being noted that the grating 1land bottom grate 15 allow the llames to pass into the eompartment 13. The heat. created by the combustion will also dry the garbage within the compartment 2O upon the trap door El, and when the garbage is dried sulliciently so that it will burn, the trap door 2l is tilted to allow the garbage to drop ell. onto the hopper 2. The hopper 2 having its` walls inelined will direct the matter thereon onto the grate l whereby the garbage and trash will be brought above the llames, to be eremated. lt is ot course understood that the various doors are kept closed during the burning ot' the garbage and refuse, wlw-roby the productsI olE combustion are constrained to pass upwardly through the smoke pipe 1,2. The tin cans and other noncombustible objects may be removed from the compartment 18 by opening the door 15), in which event the inclined grate 15 will cause the cans, and the like, to roll down through the opening 1S into abasket or receptacle (not shown) provided for that purpose. and the opening 1S. The ashes may be readily removed from the ash pit when the door S'is opened, and this also permits access to be had to the burner Ll for lighting, cleaning or ,repairing the same. Flies or insects trapped within the chambers 31 will also be exterminated.

Particular attention is directed to the provision lnade 'tor first d rainingl the garbage or slops deposited in the compartment '20, and then drying the remaining garbage, whereby the garbage may be finally dropped int-o the incinerating chamber to be burnt up.

'l`he present contrivance provides a sanitary and convenient means for disposing of the garbage, refuse and trash,.and may be used for various purposes, as will suggest themselves from the nature ot' the in vention.

li desired, the 'front i 'all o't' the casing may be provided with an upper opening 213 for depositing paper and other trash `into the incinerai'ing chan'iber, said opening 33 being normally closed by a door 3l hinged to the casing. This opening B3 permits the operator to stir the matter within the incinerating chamber, should the nrate 3 become clogged.

The door 2l), when opened, permits the drained garbage to be removed olf of the door 22, stock.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as newis:
